Q: Can you add paint to a skip trowel wall texture?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely paint a wall that has skip trowel texture, but you need to make sure you have the right tools and use the appropriate strategies. First, make sure you buy a high-capacity roller with at least a &frac34;&rdquo; nap. This type of roller will hold enough paint to make application easy, and the thick nap is more likely to apply paint over the peaks and valleys. Additionally, you can&rsquo;t tape a textured wall, so paint any untextured walls or ceilings first, then tape the smooth surfaces and paint the skip trowel walls last.</p></div>

Q: What is the correct way to paint a wall?

• <div><p>Painting a wall involves multiple steps. First, clean and sand the wall to prepare the surface, then tape off any areas where you don't want paint to go. Next, shake or stir the paint in the can, then pour it into a tray. </p><p>Dip a paintbrush into the paint can so that half of the bristles are coated. Use the brush to cut in or make a frame around the edges of the wall. Then, roll the paint roller in the tray, ensuring that it is evenly covered in paint. Roll the paint onto the wall in an &quot;M&quot; or &quot;W&quot; formation, making sure the paint is applied evenly. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of paint are needed?

• <div><p>You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on a wrought iron fence?

• <div><p>Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.</p></div>

Q: What is included in a typical paint job?

• <div><p>The typical paint job includes all necessary <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-steps-prepare-your-home-exterior-paint.htm">prep work</a>, one or more coats of paint as specified by the contract, and cleanup. The total price quoted will account for labor, materials, and tax. Your painter should also conduct a home assessment to provide an accurate quote, a painting schedule, and a walkthrough once the job is complete.</p></div>

Water damage left our ceiling with a 6 inch hole to be repaired before the ceiling could be painted. Bill did a great job plastering, then painted the ceiling within a tight time frame for us. Great work from a friendly craftsman.

They did just the places that required painting instead of having to do the whole house. They did scrape pretty well, but they missed a place. That was one thing I was upset about. We were traveling after that, so I didn't get a chance to bring them back. Their price was reasonable for all that...
